Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory is the fifth studio album by American
progressive Metal/Rock band Dream Theater. Originally released in 1999, it was
recorded at BearTracks Studios in New York, where the band had previously
recorded their second studio album Images And Words and the EP A Change of
Seasons.

The album is the sequel to "Metropolis–Part I: The Miracle And The Sleeper," a
song previously featured on the band's 1992 album Images and Words. It was the
first album to feature Jordan Rudess on keyboards.

In 2012, Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory was voted as the number one
all-time progressive Rock album in a poll conducted by Rolling Stone, beating
Rush's 2112 and Close to the Edge by Yes.

"The overall end result of the album is quite impressive indeed."
